Wellness marries pleasure 

After the negotium (non-existence of pleasure), associated with the last 18 months, it comes as no surprise that SilverSea is pioneering a first-of-its-kind ultra-lux wellness program, Otium.

Launching on the brand’s soon to be christened Silver Dawn, the moniker takes inspiration from Roman culture where the word Otium was used to celebrate and describe the most pleasurable and social part of the day. This time was specifically dedicated to the pursuit of leisure and living well.  

On board, Otium will come to life as a wellness journey weaving a tapestry of unprecedented comfort and instant gratification into a guest’s cruising agenda.

Key pillars of Otium to watch for: cashmere blankets, hot chocolate menus, mists, cocktails and gourmet bites on private balconies and exquisitely customized sleeping, bathing, eating and spa experiences.
